The Buffs player hit a 15-dart leg – but it still wasn't enough to prevent the Kells side from losing to Slemish Tavern, who are already looking like strong promotion contenders in Logan's Removals Division Two.

Meanwhile, in Gallaher Division One, The Drifters posted a third successive whitewash win, with Clough Rangers their latest victims.

Towers Tavern and BT/PO Club continue to keep pace with Drifters at the top of the table, but the crunch will come when each of them take on the multiple champions.

Davy Martin (Drifters) had the best leg of the week with a 110 checkout, followed by Paul Shirley (H&J) with a 79.

Tommy Wallace and Steven Lowry (BT/PO), Arthur Kenny (Buffs) and Geoff Wylie (Drifters) all hit 180s.
